how did you become

She’s sitting on a window seat in front of a window dressed with lace curtains. She wears a large white bow in her hair and a white dress. There is lace on the sleeves below her elbows, and lace at the base of the dress. She has white stockings and black patent leather shoes. It’s a photo of my mother when she was about 10.
Mother was an avid gardener, and I asked her once when she was well into dementia, just to make conversation, why she liked gardening so. “Because I could get my hands dirty,” she said.
